This morning, I was perusing the old Twitter feed and came across this tweet from J.K. Rowling... 20 years ago? How can that be? I guess it makes sense. I graduated from Hogwarts high school 20 years ago. And according to J.K.'s timeline, the Battle of Hogwarts happened in 1998. Harry Potter and I are … Continue reading 20 Years with Harry Potter

Batman: Nightwalker
Title: Batman: Nightwalker Author: Marie Lu Published: 2018 I'm a comic geek at heart. Specifically, I'm a DC Comics geek. So whenever there's something new and interesting about DC's iconic characters, in any medium, I'm all over it. I actually didn't know this book existed until I came across it at the library recently. I … Continue reading Batman: Nightwalker
The End of Oz
I realize I never wrote my thoughts regarding any of the previous books in the Dorothy Must Die series of novels. With The End of Oz being the fourth and (presumably) final book in the series, I think it's safe to say I enjoyed them. Please, do yourself a favor and read them before picking … Continue reading The End of Oz

No, I Didn’t Go See Fireworks Tonight
To all of my fellow Americans, happy Independence Day! If fireworks are your thing, I hope you are having a lovely evening watching all those explosions in the sky. Personally, I'm just as content sitting at home reading or watching a movie or obsessing over the Big Brother live feeds. It's not that I actively … Continue reading No, I Didn’t Go See Fireworks Tonight

Kids, welcome to my 1,001st blog post here on The Confusing Middle.

Why I’m Over Television
I'm a TV kind of guy. I like it. Having a screen that presents me with hours of endless entertainment is kind of nice. But... lately... I don't know. I'm just... kind of... over the whole thing. Don't get me wrong, I still watch the television from time to time. In fact, last weekend I … Continue reading Why I’m Over Television
Old Tales from Old Navy: The Broken Door
What follows is a tale from a long ago time when I worked retail for a small business known as Old Navy. What you are about to read is mostly true-ish. There are a lot of stupid people out there. Maybe stupid is the wrong word. I should probably just say ignorant. Because the people … Continue reading Old Tales from Old Navy: The Broken Door

Hopes, Dreams, and Plans
It's funny... the things we choose to look back on. Some of those things, we look back on not because of choice, but because of coincidence. I was thinking about what sort of blog post I'd like to write for Thanksgiving this year and, in thinking about that, decided to look back and see what … Continue reading Hopes, Dreams, and Plans
